Works to repair defects on Hemlock Way in Cannock are set to begin as part of Staffordshire County Council’s ongoing drive to improve roads across the county.
The repairs will start on the evening of 13 July, and will take around four nights to complete.
Works are being carried out overnight under a full road closure, to help reduce disruption for residents, businesses and road users.
The scheme is part of the county council’s £15 million investment into highways over the next two years, which is being used to tackle defects and help deliver smoother, safer and more reliable roads.
The investment also supports the council’s commitment to repair 40,000 potholes by the end of March 2027, with highways teams targeting defects across Staffordshire to make a visible difference in local communities.
Daniel Cecil, Staffordshire County Council’s Cabinet Support Member for Highways South, said:
“We know how important good local roads are to residents, businesses and everyone travelling around Cannock, which is why these repairs on Hemlock Way are being carried out as part of our wider programme to improve highways across Staffordshire.
“By doing the work overnight, we can reduce disruption while still making the repairs needed to improve the road surface. This is exactly the kind of local, practical improvement residents want to see, and it forms part of our £15 million investment to tackle defects and repair 40,000 potholes by the end of March 2027.
“There is more to do, but we are focused on getting the basics right, fixing defects, keeping Staffordshire moving and delivering better roads for local communities.”
Residents and road users are being asked to follow any signed diversions and allow extra time for journeys while the overnight works are under way.
